Not this thin, unless Chinese manufacturing has made heretofore unknown advances in materials science.

You jest, but I wouldn't put it past cheap Chinese manufacturing to somehow do this at some point in the next 100 years. "How did you invent a room temperature supraconductor? -we thought it would save us $0.00001 per part"

Eh, margins aren't that low on cheap Chinese gear with questionable IP rights. Not so low that they would develop an in house solution to a .02 cent market deficiency.

I know you're jesting the jester, but Chinese manufacturing is on par with "the west" in terms of making money hand over fist on selling plastic junk, with minimal risk due to overpricing
